How bout not kill the whole nation with starvation, and making a peace deal, isn't that an option?
The Japanese would not have made peace. The only way to break their will would have been a land invasion, meaning millions of lives lost, or blockade and starve them to death. It might not be easy to accept, but the dropping of those bombs, while killing hundreds of thousands, was much better than the millions that would have been killed in a land invasion or the untold number who might have died from a naval blockade.
